The submitted treatise provides an overview of current state of the concept of ethnographic collection in Czech museology, and it points to a certain mutual imbalance between the two spheres. Especially in the content-semantic realm it finds ambiguities in the basic cornerstones of the discipline − in the current terminology of the discipline and the lacking definition of the term “ethnographic collection”, which would simultaneously reflect the present-day conditions of the legislation and discipline as well as social needs. The little interest in resolving these shortcomings is illustrated with the very limited number of current professional publications which deal mainly with the theoretical basis and which would outline the conception of the further development of ethnographic museology in the Czech Republic, especially if we compare the production of similar literature from the second half of the twentieth century. The study offers a clear definition of the term “ethnographic collection”, it presents the basic terminology and reflects on possible solutions to several problematic factors. It can be seen as the first step for the mutual exchange of opinions on the further development and creation of a new theoretical and practical platform for ethnographic museology in the Czech Republic in the third millennium.

The study deals with defining the documentation of traditional techniques within the ethnographic collection. It addresses the question of supplementing the museum thesaurus with fully functional techniques. Attention is paid to real possibilities of preserving practical skills in relation to ethnographical deposited. The theoretical introduction focussing on the principles of creating museum thesauri is followed by an analysis of experimental approaches to and eventualities of reconstructions of extinct traditional techniques. Defining the dependence of the preservation of traditional handicraft technologies directly in museum institutions on specific bearers of these skills is an important section of the study. The potential of experiments and reconstructions to expand and deepen the documentation of ethnographic collections is demonstrated by three specific examples of implementations carried out in the Wallachian Open-Air Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm and the Centre of Traditional Techniques in Příbor. In the conclusion, the author points out the main difficulties of anchoring the repositories with traditional skills in the structure of museums.
